Description of problem: Volume manager is invalid Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 Beta (Tikanga) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Expected results: Volume is up and down with the changing of gnome-volume-manager Additional info: Server 5.2 also has this problem. It works well in Client machine.
Moving to gnome-media for audio control
That really doesn't help. What volume are you changing? How are you changing it? Are you sure that sound even works on that machine?
I change volume though gnome-volume-manager on panel, I try on several machines, always have this problem. It can work on Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 1.0 Beta.
There's nothing called gnome-volume-manager in the panel. gnome-volume-manager handles "volume discs", hard disks, CDs and the likes. What does "It can work on Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 1.0 Beta." mean?
Volume-control on panel. /etc/redhat-release: Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 1.0 Beta.
What do you mean by "volume doesn't change". Are you saying that there's never any sound? or the sound is stuck at (say) 50% volume and changing it doesn't affect anything? If you right click on the volume on the panel can choose "Open Volume Control" does changing those sliders work. Please be very detailed about what's going wrong.
I'm having the same problem with fedora12, gnome 2.28.0, pulseaudio 0.9.21, and asla. While the sound is working on my machine, the volume sliders within Gnome are not having any effect on the sound, unless sound is adjusted to 0 and then it will mute the volume. At any setting greater than 0 then volume output is at 100%. If I startx and open a terminal and then open alsamixer and then adjust the volume slider (speaker icon on the gnome taskbar) I can see the master volume moving up and down in the alsamixer, but this have 0 effect on controlling the actual volume. I have noted that if I adjust the PCM volume within alsamixer that it does in fact change the volume output. I have also noticed that the only way to adjust the volume within xwindows is to right click on the speaker icon, go into Sound Preferences, click on Applications, and I can adjust the volume correctly using the slider controls located there. It is interesting to note that adjusting the volume with the slider of the application has 0 effect on volume output unless volume output is set to 0 in which case the speakers will mute. Trying to adjust the volume in any way within x windows without right click on speaker icon in system try, Sound Properties, Application, then the sound volume is either 100% or 0%. There is no inbetween.
